How The Academy Lost Touch With Movie Music →
nprmusic:
How did we get here? Only two songs from movies were worthy of Oscar nominations? From, the country that brought you “Let’s Hear It for the Boy” and “(Everything I Do) I Do It for You”??
Very good read.
PS: If you follow just one Tumblr account, make it NPR’s. So many interesting posts. Keep up the good job, people who update it (and who actually write them)!

New questions
4, 11, 32 & 34

1) Wes Anderson 2) Woody Allen 3) Hirokazu Kore-Eda 4) François Truffaut 5) Martin Scorsese

I do that a lot. Last year I watched The Marc Pease Experience mainly for Jason Schwartzman. It wasn’t anything to...
More underrated movies
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. And Jersey Girl. Yeah, you read it right. But NOT Red State. Sorry, Kev.
Continuing...
9. An underrated movie
I’ll give you a few: Speed Racer. Ang Lee’s Hulk. Superman Returns. My Blueberry Nights. Star Wars Episode III. The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou. These came to mind right now.
13. Top 5 actresses
Ughhhh how am I going to do this? Okay, all-time, based only on acting, in no particular order:
1) Audrey Hepburn 2) Bette Davis 3) Anna Karina 4) Gena Rowlands 5)...

Which is why I’m always suspicious of those who seem to be.

I don’t really like the idea that this specific amount of time is ending, because that’s all very arbitrary. People often talk about how they want the year to end soon so they can “recharge”, but I don’t see how that is possible. Tomorrow will be January 1st, but we’re not...

In search of a title (plus other stuff)
Managed to write a few more pages today. If I manage to keep this pace up I really should have this screenplay done in a couple months. Then it’s just getting financing to get it made, which, as I have said before IS THE EASIEST PART (see two or three posts ago).
Just kidding, I will probably have to go through one or two or a million new drafts and THEN the money will roll right in.

WatchI’ve had this Moleskine for six years now. I think I’ll finally fill it up in 2012.
I have all kinds of things on it. I don’t know, I just thought someone might find this interesting to look at.
